My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Phinney is a special dog with a big heart. He turned 8 on September 4th. We planned to adopt a puppy from a litter he fathered, but we fell in love with him. Due to a genetic eye condition, his breeder could no longer use him for breeding, and in January 2019 he joined us
While we aren’t sure of the extent of his condition, we do know that he has some vision impairment. This can make him a little skittish on walks, especially around loud noises.Despite this, he is affectionate and loving.
He does have a few special needs, including IBS, which causes accidents in the house, though he is trained to go outside. With two young children,one curious toddler and one who is about to start crawling,it has become difficult for us to keep up with his care alongside the needs of our family
Phinney is a sweet, gentle boy who deserves attentive and patient home where he can thrive. We love him deeply but we know he would do best with a family that can give him the extra care and attention he needs.
